ATTENTION INVESTORS!!! OWNER FINANCING AVAILABLE!!! Looking to add to your portfolio? I've got an incredible opportunity for you. This well-maintained 5-plex offers a total of 3,842 sq. ft., built in 2007, and sits on 1.4 acres in a peaceful, highly desirable location. With four fantastic tenants already in place, this is a true turnkey opportunity. Each unit is slightly different in layout and design, with walls and ceilings constructed of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) — providing superior energy efficiency to save on electric bills and excellent sound resistance for quiet, comfortable living. The property features ample parking, a shed, and a 24x48 shop. The majority of the shop has recently been converted to a 5th unit featuring 1 bedroom 1 bathroom kitchen and living room. Part of the shop is being used for an office with it's own separate entrance. Great for a business office There is 100 amp 220 Volt for electric. The 5th unit are not calculated into the rental income already being brought in, so this lease amount would be in ADDITION to the $70,200 per year that is already being brought in. The driveway owned by the neighbor and there is an easement With its prime Midlothian location, peaceful surroundings, and STRONG rental history, this is the investment you’ve been waiting for!

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 4 × 5-bed/?-bath units multifamily listed at $675k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $2k ($27k/yr) — positive. Per door: $568/mo.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($9k rent vs $675k).
  • Recommended offer: $594k (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 10.3% vs local median 3.5% in Midlothian — top-decile yield for the area; either an underpriced asset or a hidden risk that comps aren't pricing in. Stress-test before assuming the spread holds.

Location & tenants

  • Location reads 70/100 on livability (#371 in TX) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: crime A+, employment A+, housing A+; Watch: amenities F, commute F, health & safety F.
  • Midlothian ISD (suburban): math 53% / reading 52% proficiency, ranked #94 of 826 in TX (top 11%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
  • Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+4.3%/yr); 1133 active listings in the ZIP; high-income renter base; 3,016 units permitted in Ellis County in 2024 (20 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $9,293/mo this rent would consume 87% of the median local household income ($128k/yr) (locally 811% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.

Forward outlook

  • Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $5k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $20k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Ellis County population projected at +36% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
  • At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 4.3% rent growth), your $189k cash investment doubles in ~8 years — after that, you're playing with house money.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 262 days — a 12% lower offer ($594k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Climate carrying-cost: major wind risk, 27% chance of damaging wind over 30y; moderate wildfire risk; extreme-heat days projected 7→25/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Recommended offer $594,000 (12.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 262 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 12% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  2. Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
  3. What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
  4. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  5. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  6. Schools are B-rated — typically a magnet for longer-tenancy family renters. What's the average tenant stay here, and is there a school-zone premium baked into asking?
  7. What's the average days-on-market for RENTAL listings here right now (not sales)? A rising rental-DOM trend means longer vacancies and softer asking-rent achievability than the comps imply.
  8. What's the recent tenant-quality profile in this submarket — average credit score on applications, eviction rate, late-payment / NSF rate, and stable-employment percentage? A property-management company in the area should have these aggregated.
  9. How much new apartment / multifamily construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply (>2% of stock underway) typically softens rents 12–24 months out; light construction supports rent growth.

For passive investors: Depreciation is non-cash, so a rental often shows a tax loss while cash-flowing — sheltering income. Rental losses are passive: they offset passive income freely, and up to $25,000/yr can offset ordinary (W-2) income if you actively participate and your MAGI is under $100k (phasing out to $0 by $150k); unused losses carry forward. On sale, claimed depreciation is recaptured at up to 25%, and gains may owe capital-gains tax (a 1031 exchange can defer both). Figures are a year-1 estimate at your 24.0% rate — not tax advice; consult a CPA.
